Heating with electric help
I have some concerns and some questions I just haven’t been able to find the answer to. At some point I want to upgrade to a heat pump / mini split there are currently $500 incentives to do so. It would be $1500 if I was seer 11. Atm this is out of the budget tho. My current setup.
located in Illinois.
950 to 1000 sq foot house.
R20至R25阁楼
R11 to r19 crawlspace floor
R11 walls
11 (32×46) single pane wood windows with exterior aluminum storms. Foamed around, new glazing putty and gaskets.
门也有风暴。
Currently has seer 13 Goodman AC no heat pump. Nice air handler with support for heat strips.
Electrical base board non hydronic most over sized.
去年,如果我们愿意的话,我们会很敬酒。电费很好。
我有孩子消防安全是一个问题,房屋是小装饰是一个问题。
Questions:
1.
I’m considering installing a heat kit for the air handler but not sure if it would cost me more than my baseboard heaters to operate. It would set me back about $200 to $300.
I have two bedrooms that I need to replace old baseboard heaters in. That would run me about $150.
2.
I was considering forced fan wall heaters but that would move the heating from the perimeter under windows to the interior walls. I’m not sure if that would cause heat saturation issues or other cold drafts etc…
这将使我与空气处理器的加热套件相同,也许会多一点,但是如果热套件无法做到,则可以释放空间。
我不确定该怎么做,我会做一本房间手册j。这里周围的所有承包商都继续推动燃气炉或完整的热泵安装,告诉我踢脚线和电热量太贵了。去年我的账单每月不超过150美元,灯光,热水等。
Looking for some input. Thanks

If you’re using your electric baseboards as a sort of zoned setup, keeping rooms you’re in warm while the others are cool, then a central electric heat setup may end up costing you more since you’ll be heating the entire house and not just a room or two.
You may be able to cheaply add some blown insulation into your attic to cut your heat loss down, that might help get a central system’s operating cost down while heating the entire house more evenly.

>"I’m considering installing a heat kit for the air handler but not sure if it would cost me more than my baseboard heaters."
If the ducts are tight and reasonably well designed and mostly inside the thermal envelope of the house the operating cost of the air handler heat strip is comparable to running the baseboard. If the ducts leak, and are in an attic above the insulation it'll cost more- how much more depends on the particulars.

Wall heaters with fans are usually a last resort. Adding right-sized heat strip to the AC would be a far better solution from a comfort point of view, if that's what it takes to cover the load.
有了您的房屋描述,可能值得花一些时间/金钱在空气密封上,并使阁楼更好地隔离,并可能将空气密封和绝缘。投资回报率主要是舒适和室内空气质量,而不是在现有的未实现能源储蓄基础上。如果管道全部都在内部,则1或1.5吨调节管道的富士图可能会处理房屋的更紧密版本的负载。
达娜(Dana),您可能还记得我正在封装爬网空间的过程。那就是供应管道所在的地方。我只需要完成最后的细节即可。我很快就会发表一篇文章,希望解决这个问题。爬网范围的封装是100%面对的,空气质量,带来了我一生中能节省能量和无霉菌房屋的一些回报的好处。
It's all about space and heat on a budget atm, I have had to handle a lot of neglected things in my new house over the past year. Trying to get ready for winter and relaxing from all the projects.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
您的家是世界的哪一部分?我们将在佛罗里达州南部的某人与缅因州的某人不同。
One of your questions seems to be should I switch heating fuels. That choice is driven by the current prices of the fuels in your locality without that info any comments would be guesses and generalities.
您所问的任何事情都不可能在不到10年的时间内按美元支付。您可能还会在10年内进入这所房子吗?
“我去年的账单不超过150。”如果您当年的总供暖费用仅为150美元,那么您不太可能以美元计费支付燃油转换。
如果您想更换窗户以舒适或因为旧的窗户不再操作,那么窗口更换几乎永远不会以美元条款回报,那么获得良好的窗户是有意义的。
If you keep all the rooms in the house at the same temperature, resistance heaters will use the same amount of electricity no matter where they are install in the air ducts or on the baseboards.

Thanks Walt, I added my home is in illinois, and fixed the cost of heating to per month.
